After more than a decade on-air and behind-the-scenes at Air1, Mandy Young has been named Program Director of the EMF Radio Group and will now head programming for both the K-LOVE and Air1 networks. She most recently served as Air1 Program Director and air talent.

Chief Content Officer Jim Houser said, "After years in the AC and CHR worlds as an air-talent giant, Mandy has been blazing the trail for a ground-breaking worship format on Air1. She understands Christian formats and the faith audience in a way few do, and I'm ecstatic about the future of K-LOVE and Air1 with Mandy leading the way."

"When I started in radio more than 20 years ago," Young said, "coming in two minutes before the start of my morning show with a towel on my head, I never imagined I'd be here today. I am humbled by and excited for this new role. I have loved this ministry and the people it reaches for 11 years and I look forward to leading an amazing team at K-LOVE and Air1."

Supporting Young in her expanded position, Dan Arthur (half of Air1's morning show team, "Dan & Michelle") adds Assistant Program Director and Music Director to his role at Air1. Arthur will remain on-air, while also putting his 20+ years of radio experience as a PD, APD and MD to use.

"I've had the pleasure of spending the last two years working alongside Dan," said Young. "I've seen firsthand how deeply he cares for the ministry and for sharing Jesus with people. I'm excited to see the contributions Dan will bring to his new role and I am sure our audience will benefit greatly from his creativity and skillset."
